Life under despotic rule

A man is walking on what passes for a street in his village. The ground rocks are jagged and the surface uneven. The rats aren’t as bad as they usually are, but the smell of human waste and decay still hang in the air. He knows that the odor will be more pungent when the sun rises to heat the day once more. But the man knows that bad smells are the least of his worries as he tries to go about his business finding bread or flour or rice for his family so they do not starve.
